FLAMES (2018)

Flames capture the innocence of first love and the challenges it brings with itself. The young romance that unfolds aims straight for the heart. The nostalgia of teenagers falling in love or turning friendship into love hits right in the feels. It is the story of the love that brews in the coaching centers and is allowed to grow outside leaves you craving more. It is a decent and innocent love story that gives you a chance to view the pure emotions of the first love with its amazing storyline and screenplay. The chemistry of the characters on screen is remarkable. It will make you laugh, cry and sigh with deepest satisfaction.

This web series is something that'll actually make you smile. It explores young budding romance and mostly encounters a guy's perspective. A young guy falling for a girl and falling for the same without much thought or worry. It explains or helps us relive our first crushes and what they were like or in most cases, what they would have been like. It would've been a much better rated web series had it not succumbed to the stereotype of ending on a good note, that's where it loses out on reality but that's one of the reasons why it feels very light hearted and fun to watch. We don't experience our baggage when we watch it just because it disconnects itself with reality at a few points. That's what works for everyone regardless of age and experience. So everything aside, just watch it and smile!

Flames feels like less of a show and more of a secret videotape of my own, and many others', tuition life during that hectic final year of school. It's got all the pressure and all the tension of class 12 set off against a light-hearted, budding romance that all of us have experienced - at least in our fantasies.
In five short episodes, The Timeliners take us down the memory lane of tuition friendships and crushes with all their naive drama and innocent awkwardness. The teasing, all-knowing voice-over of the Chemistry teacher as narrator is an echo of all the lessons learned from that time.
While the script could be more engaging, Season 1 of Flames warms the heart through its pure and simple plot. Let's hope that the hinted-at Season 2 gives us a little something more!

Timeliners's Flames -Padhai aur Pyaar is all what its title tells you. Rajat (Ritvik Shah) is a shy , studious boy caught up between the rigorous curriculum of coaching centers finds a sigh of love when Ishita (Tanya Maniktala) enters his coaching classroom (See padhai aur pyaar). It will made you nostalgic about your classroom crushes. Adding to the review i'd say the series is not a first of its kind . The idea has been baked by lot of shows. First episode is tempting and wants to make you hit auto-play but progress of the show is dull , punches are not that worthy and you'd feel like the show has been continuously hiding behind Retro Bollywood tracks due to lack of dialogues. it is a one time watch.

FLAMES star casts the chemistry of Rajat and Ishita, unfolding as a chemical reaction. Class topper Rajat falls for Ishita, a fresher in the education centre. Rajat's BFFs, Pandey and Anusha's understanding is beginning to turn into a relationship. The equations of friendships unfold in the first season of this teenage romance. This series takes you to a ride of a sweet fairytale love story where everything seems innocent and soothing. While the show is set in present day, the makers try to tap into the 90s nostalgia which feels quite manipulative at times. The story highlights the only aim of life, of managing the love equations while topping the exams.

The story is amazing and it happens with everyone during their school life, when one falls in love with someone but never has the courage to express one’s feeling. How everything changes when you are in love and everyday feels special. It defines the actual concept of misunderstanding and how a guy tackles it with support of people.
This happened with me too in my school life this is just mindblowing.

This is more of those TV series which you will hold close to heart. You can never get enough of it, no matter how many times you have watched this. This comes with clean humor and soulful acting. Every spice is in perfect quantity and perfect timings. With an amazing story-line, it simply puts a smile on your face.
Love to The Timeliners.

Flames is a #teen oriented show, which is set in a tuition centre. The narration of the web series is done by the tuition teacher and the story surrounds Rajat and Ishita who meet through their ' Sunshine Tuition Class'. This show exhibits the feelings of having a crush, the ordeals of taking time out to spend time with each other without compromising on studies, and the importance of friendship and support.
The reason I feel it's just watchable is because it is too cutesy for its on good. In some episodes, you truly feel disconnected and feel there isn't much to the show apart from Rajat and his aloofness to various things.
They could have shown the characters as a bit stronger.
Otherwise, it's sorta #cute, #nostalgic for those who can relate with tuition crushes, the shyness in interacting with somebody new.

Lovely series which reminds child hood. The flow and pace of the series is quite healthy. The best part is keeping the episodes like Tution classes.

Flames is set in a tuition center in West Delhi where students of 11th and 12th standard come in to polish up their Maths and Chemistry.
he story revolves around teenage love, heartbreak and will soon transport you to the days when getting an uneventful smile from your crush meant the world.

The Timeliners' series, though set in today's world, brings in the 90s nostalgia and the adorable teenage romance gets us hooked to it.
A fairly new YouTube series, this show has garnered a lot of attention for its simple and relatable storyline.
Watch it for the romance or for the nostalgia.

The Timeliner's Flames is a cute, adorable, and at times cringe(but in a good way) series. Its a reminiscent of may peoples teenage when we all had a high school or tuition classes crush to whom we never could talk or express our feelings to. This series is all that and more. The story revolves around teenage love, heartbreak and will soon transport you to the days when getting a cursory nod from your crush meant the world. The writers tries to tap into the 90's nostalgia of every adult, with songs and Easter eggs from every 90's romantic movie, which seems manipulative at times as the series is clearly set in the present days. The acting talent of the young cast is commendable. Whatever trick used by the writers though, the show does do a good work of making viewers take a trip down in memory lane.

Verdict: A good series for living the nostalgic times again with some good humor, but with forgettable supporting cast and sub-par cinematography . A one time Watch.

The web series revolves around school romance. The story is amazing and it has happened with everyone during their school life, when one falls in love with someone but never has the courage to confess one's feeling. How everything changes when you are in love and everyday feels special. It defines the actual concept of misunderstanding and how a guy tackles it with support of people. I am eagerly waiting for the second season.
